Madame Chencha
In 1956, Silva produced and transmitted from New York a television program, Una Hora Contigo (An Hour with You). The show was transmitted by Canal 4 in Puerto Rico and Myrta moved back to the island. In her show she created the innovative character of "Madame Chencha". "Madame Chencha" became the first T.V. character dedicated to "rumors". This character created a lot of controversy between public figures and the television station, and as a consequence, Silva decided to leave the program and return to New York City.
